Today's Stupidest Thing of All Time: Rebecca Traister, "How Did Republican Women End Up Like This?"


Of all the stupid things I read from the left these days, this has to rank among the stupidest:
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?” 
Tennessee senator Marsha Blackburn lobbed this query at Ketanji Brown Jackson during her 2022 Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Blackburn was doing her bit for her party’s effort to enforce transphobic gender conformity, positioning herself as a defender of womanhood as something fixed and narrow. When Jackson declined to provide Blackburn with a definition, noting that she was not a biologist, the senator took the opportunity to dial it up a notch. “The fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about,” Blackburn said with lip-smacking satisfaction.
Two years later, Republicans remain cruelly closed to the realities of gender fluidity and trans existence. But how the party understands — and represents — womanhood more broadly? Well … that’s getting weird. As we cruise toward November with two ancient white men on the presidential ticket and the rights of millions of people who are not white men in the balance, the public performance of Republican womanhood has become fractured, frenzied, and far less coherent than ever.
Really, it's almost impossible to believe that anyone can be this laughably wrong about something so obvious. (And here I'm talking about the idiotic author of this idiotic piece of idiocy, not KBJ, who is probably just trying to avoid a shitstorm.)
   How dare a Republican woman ask a potential Justice whether the sky is blue??? And when said potential Justice refuses to answer because she knows that her political faction is now so insane, and so gripped by political correctness, that a shitstorm would ensue should she answer truthfully...and when said Republican woman (a Senator, no less) sees that she has proven her point...well...Republicans pounce!
   "Can you tell us what winter is, madame potential Justice?"
   "I am not a climatologist, Senator."
   "You realize that's crazy, right?"
   "I am not a psychologist, Senator."
   "But you live on Earth, right?"
   "I am not a planetologist, Senator."
   "Is winter typically warmer on average or cooler on average than summer?"
   "I really couldn't say, Senator..."
   MY GOD, HAVE REPUBLICAN WOMEN NEVER HEARD OF SEASONAL FLUIDITY? WHAT ABOUT TRANS-SEASONALITY? HOW CAN THEY BE SO BLIND TO THE REALITY OF CLIMATOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION?? SO CRUELLY FIXED ON A NARROW DEFINITION OF SEASON-NESS?????

I've been sick at my decision to support Trump (who, though only about 20% as bad as the TDS-riddled Blue Team thinks he is...is still, IMO, not fit to be President)...
Then I remember that the American left has lost its goddamned mind...
